August Alsina

Born and bred from the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, enter into the game, 21-year-old August Alsina... With the love and hustle of the Crescent City running through his veins, August is eager to follow in the footsteps of the NOLA music legends that paved his way. His recently inked deal with Def Jam Recordings looks to be a great step in the right direction, but music wasn't always in his future. August learned at an early age that drugs and money could make you, or break you. With both his father and stepfather battling crack addiction, August's mother moved their family to Houston, Texas in search of a fresh start. But Houston provided no happy ending.

If they tell you I came up from nothing, then know that they tellin' the truth
If they told you I been in the trenches, believe 'em, they tellin' the truth
If they told you I came from the back of the tracks then they tellin' the truth
If they told you that I wouldn't have your back, they lied to you
If they told you that I use to slang thangs then they tellin' the truth
If they tell you I stay with the bang gang, then they tellin' the truth
If they tellin' you some of the fame changed me, they tellin' the truth
If they tell you that I ain't a hunnid, nigga, then they lyin' to you

Still got the mud on my shoes
They just talkin', I done been through it
Where I'm from, these niggas been shootin'
So you know I don't care 'bout no fuckin' rumors
Can't nobody tell on me, I beat 'em to it
Eat my cabbage up and I'ma never chew it two times
No excuses, I'ma stand up for mine
I work too hard so I'm having my way up
Day after day I be stackin' my cheddar and paper
I took your bitch and I had her fuckin' in the Days Inn
If you ever wanna know the code, it's "F*ck you, nigga, pay me"
Hand me my currency currently, you know that money is time

If they tell you I came up from nothing, then know that they tellin' the truth (truth)
If they told you I been in the trenches, believe 'em, they tellin' the truth (truth)
If they told you I came from the back of the tracks then they tellin' the truth (truth)
If they told you that I wouldn't have your back, they lied to you (sheesh)
If they told you that I use to slang thangs, then they tellin' the truth (truth)
If they tell you I stay with the bang gang, then they tellin' the truth (truth)
If they tellin' you some of the fame changed me, they tellin' the truth (truth)
If they tell you that I ain't a hunnid, nigga, then they lyin' to you

Gettin' money been the mission
Snipin' the bag, I got great precision
Know that all of my niggas got great ambition
Usin' all of our faith and our intuition
Nigga, we beat the odds, we beat the block
Took them bricks and we built us a squad
On God, takin' no days off
I work too hard so I'm having my way up
Day after day, I be stackin' my cheddar and paper
I took your bitch and I had her fuckin' in the Days Inn
If you ever wanna know the code it's "F*ck you, nigga, pay me"
Hand me my currency currently, you know that money is time
